TÜE GOLDEN CLASP) on, The Perjured Ooldimith. - BY FR0FSS40R HVOflAlIAM. FARTI. A modeit and exceedinclj pretty younff girl, tUinlj attired, entered one of thegoldtmi.h'a torei on street, and beeinir that a gentleman waa engaged wiio tho proprietor, trie Üruidlj ihrunk ando near the door until he should be at leit ure. Tho ait'u Unta wer alto occupied with cuttom era whoso dress and appearanco show ed tham to belong to Ine cUaa of. the ribh, and bo sho waa suffered to remain for soma time, standing there, before she could bei attvoded to. The gentleman who - was a fine, noblelooking person, with a reraarkablj polished address, seeing her waiting courteous) stood aside, and said to the goldsmith ' "Do not occupy yourself with mo now, Mr. Droocnard, I can examine these watches by myself, whilo you see what thia young person wants who hat been waiting here so long and patiently to got an opportunity to speak to you . 'What do you wish, Miss?' asked tho goldsmith, with a look which conveyed a reproof to her for interruptiog nr ru, wnuo engaged wun a cusio mcr of mora Talue to him. ' The cirP hcsitatinalr approached the counter, 1 ar d taking from her bosom a small gold clatp bent orer to him, and laid in a low and trembling voice 'I wUh sir, you would bo ao kind at to keep this a few days and let me have seven dollars on it. Low aa she spoke, her soft trem bling tones reached the ears Of Col. Moll lenry, tbeirentleman who waa preacnt, and he turned to observe her face. and hear the reolv of the 'coldamith to thia timid anil painfully ut tered request, iho goldsmith took the clasp scornfully between his fingers and throwing it down, said sharply to her 'This is n pawnbroker's shop, irirl and if it waa, that thiujr ' ia not worth two dollars.' 'It ia of inaatimabla walua to me sir indeed it is the only thing valuable I have;" answered she earnestly, and bar etieck aliibUy flashed at the rude manner of bis reply. 'I don't dnow what vou may value it at," he answered with a cold latiirh. glancing at Col. MclUnry, whom he aaw aeverely . observing him: I would not like to give you six shillings for it.' 'Dot air, plead tho eirl. unconscious of being overheard, 'Imuil have seven dollars to day, and I have no other way of getting it. and I was in hoot s sir, that you might let me have that sum on it; for I will certainly come back and take it up again.' 1 tell you answered he, angrily, '1 keep no pawnbroker's shop. Go to tho Jews.' , . They won't give me but two del art, and I want even. 'And ao you think to get it out of meT' The youns cirl was about to sneak again, but as if xxA knowing what further arguments to urge, hesitated, and was turning alowly away, when bbe checked herself and again spoke to mm . Sir,' she said, in alow thrillin? tone of earnest entreaty, 'my mother is lying very ill, and our rent is due at 12 o'clock to-day, and the persons we sew lor, having disappointed us in our pay, I have no other resource but ihtal Obi Sir, will you take thin clasp only for a few days, and I will then repay your Mr. UroocharttUlt that Uol. MoHenry's eres weie ipon him, waiting an answer and aa h i wished him to thick him n man of business, (which meant in his notion a man . without a heart) he answered promptly and sternly, 'ho. Do you think we are simpletons here, to throw away money in this way? If you have nothing more to say, please stand aside lor customers. VVell Colonel what do you think of those? Latest importa tion; full jewel d and warranted in all points. .1 will aell you the one just laid do wn, for one hundred and nine ty-five dollars.' The gentleman, however, was not heeding him, but watching the young girl whom he saw leave the counter with a heavy, drooping: step, approach ed the door. Her faco had struck him for its sweet intelligent loveliness, and her modesty had for him an. irresistible charm; but her plea of poverty deeply interested his fellings, and enlisted bis aympathiea in her behalf. He had ailenil observed the progress of her interview with him, with emo tions of contempt for one, and pity for (he other. . Her hand was on the knob of the door.whtu, advancing towards her, said, 'You asked, I believe, for seven dol Ian?' he said with a gentle interest in his tone, that at once awakened hope in her heart, and again brought th liirbt to her eyes and the hue to her cheeks, as she diffidently antwered. 'Yet, sir. I should not have been so bold and urgent, but -" "None too much ao. There is a ten dollar note and I have no smaller bills. Sir, you are too kind ' 'Not a word, I am happy to do you a service." 'Take tne clasp, sir, though 1 am ashamed to offer it to yon, since tht gentleman saya it i to valueless. ut to me it is as valuable as lifo, and 1 foolUhlj thought it must be so oth era. I do not want it, child,' answered Col. McIIenry, feelingly putting the nana asiae, wnuo sue urged it upon a m a

hin. v

'Indeed sir, you must take it, for 1 hall feel in some degree hss under obligations to a stranger. I5oiJe.i, I with to call And redeem it. Will you give me your aJJresx, sir?' and as she spoke, ho atill declined the juwi'l, sho laid it on tho show-box: Oh no matter but if you insist it it tho United States Hotel.' Thank you, sir, you can never know thnbletxings toothers, that will follow jour kinuneas to mo to-day.' Thus speaking and looking upon him with an exprcation of gratitude in her tearful eye, she left the shop, forgetting tho golden clasp, which sho left upon tho show case. 'Will you look atone of theto watches now, Col. MoHenry?' superciliously asked the gold amith, without lifting his condemned

J": . rno sir,' answered tho gentleman sternly. And taking hit glovua and cana he walked from the shop of the avartciou goldsmith, who toocloso to risk a trillo to relievo tho wants of h poor family, . probnbly lott a large amount by the purchase, his wealthy customer might litre made, as well at his own self-respect such as it was; for a mice always sinks into its shell be furo the broad sun of benevolence. 'Now there goes a man who throws away money upon vagrants; whilo I keep mine to support my family,' said the goldsmith, looking after him, 'ho thinks me a miser, nod I think him n fool. Oh, hero is that clasp after all! Sho left it for him, on tho show-cauc, and he was too proud to tuke it awuv if ho snw it. Seven .dollars? It is not worth raoro than fivel' He opened it as he spoke, and taking up a sharp instrument, tried the firm ness of thi gold. 'It is good old Mexican gold. It might have onco cost twenty dollars. Ahl whatl a staar of diamonds within ill he exclaimed, as in working about with a point of steal ho discovered a eavity. 'Iwelvo largo diitmonds of the purest water! This is indued valuable! Let mo see they are worth at least live hundred dollars! What valuo to uk so much! No, no, she could not either, for sho would not lot it go for so small a sum, or cite asked for nearer its valuo. I suspect ahe waa ignorant of the cavity, which I detected only by accident, sho has stolen it, aud will never return for it. 'Ah, ah. Abraham Droochard, thou hastmado a good evening's work of it?' lie naldcxultingly toMinclf. Ihtn loooking round aruoiu' his shop boya. to see if ho was observed, no carefully yet with n cheerful air. locked the cld.p in hi private druw er, anil takin out tho key placed it in bis pocket. He h id hardly done so, when Col. Mc Henry re-entered, and without speaking or even looking at him, cist his eyes uopu tho show case for tho clasp; which he recollec ted, arter going out, the young girl had laid down out did not take up again, and o he turned back for it. Abraham liroochard was very busily engaged in replacing tho watches in their uoe-skin covering, and preserv ed silence and ignorance. At length Col. M., spoke: 'That young person laid her clasp on this case, sir, which I neglected to tako up. It was a pity it should be lost, the valued it ao highly.' Tho clasp! Oh, oh, I have not seen it sir. Sho took it up again.'. 'Did you see her?' . Yes, oh, yes! I had my eye1 on her, and she said ut the samo time; you'd never see your ten dollars or the clasp, again. The gentleman eyed him steadily an instant, and then glancing ronnd the show-caso again, as if in search of it, he quit the shop. PÄltTH.Several days had elapsed, and Co!. McIIenry had quite forgotten tho circumstance he had just narrated, when, as he was passing down Arch St., he felt his bleeve suddenly pulled bv some oae he heard ruuning behind him, and looking round he beheld, with a cheek glowing from the pursuit, the young girl he had seen at tho goldsmith a. Oh, sir, I am so happy to have found you,' she said, at once address inghim, as he stopped and with pleasure listened to her. '1 was at length enabled to get my pay, and by oilier were have earned enough to repay you the ten dollars, you so kindly guve me. You don't know the good you did tho sufferings you relieved the evil you timely averted. Here is the mon ey, air. Nay, my good girl, 1 do not want it, I mtdo you a present of It at the time, and did not expect to return it. I am, however, gud to hnd you have the disposition to do so, nnd that I I was not deceived in my estimation of you.' 'You must take it, sir;' she said I should with ingenious earnestness. be distressed to be longer under pecuniary obligation to an entire Granger. Besides, sir, I would be very glad to have my clasp, ifyou please.' 'Did you not take il from the ease where you laid it down?' he asked with surprise and justly directed suspicion, 'No sir indeed, sir, I hope it is not lost. It is of countless value to me- It was given mo by by 'By ft sweetheart,' added he smillno He is now dead, sir,' she answered withoverflowing eyes. - You do well to value it, I did not take it up. Are you sure you left it there?' 'Yes sir; hoping you would take it and keep it, till I paid you the money. Well, my child I have not got it; but I believe the goldsmith hat. Let us co to him.' On thcirarrival, at the shop. Mr. Broochard denied having ever seen it, since she went out, and that he aaw

her take it with her, and place it in her bosom as sho left the shop, The young lady turned pale, and was in

conceivably ülstressuu. Come with me, I will find tho clasp for you;' said Col4 McIIenry odeiing her his arm and leaving thegol lmith' with her. 'I do hope I shsll find it, sir;' she said, as they walked. It was Robert's last gilt.. It was given him in Cuba by a rich lady, whonu life he saved by rescuing her from the water. He was a sailor, sir, and little to leave me. but his memory and my poor clatp. Oh, sir, if it is lost, I shall never forgive myself for offering to pledge it. Uut, sir, our extremity was very great.' Col. McIIenry stopped with her at a justice's office, and briefly and clearly muuo ins complaint, ana in a very lew minutes Mr. Jlroochard was brought into the pretence of tho magistrate. Ho appeared to be in great trepidation, and was palo as ashes; for ho had been suddenly taken wilhont warning from behind Iiis counter, leaving his shop in charge of his attoniahed assistants. Col.

Before it took effect almost every day thoro were ono or more drunken meu lobe seen staggering through and about town. Uuthincu the 12th of June last there has been no drunken men seen in town. Before the Law took effect thcro were generally ouo or more fights every week, and had been ever since I came hero last (all, until tho 1 2th of June. About tho time tho law camo in force thero were some few who took leave

of drunkenness by biing drunk a whole week, and so far as 1 have seen and heard, have been sober ever since. Now I speak knowingly, for I live about the mid Jlo of the town, nnd I know what 1 say. Some growled r.t a terrible rate, but thcte were not the , , I 1. i . I. a. coniirmeu urunkarus, oui moaeroio drum drinkers, with the exception of one, and this ono got drunker than unual.land rolled and pitched over tho floor At a tcrriblo rate, and tried about tho Liquor Law coming iu force tho next day, and he would get no more liquor. This I know, for 1 sawj it myself. Now I do know that a strong Erohibitory law is the best law we can avu in regard to liquor, and it ought to bo supported. All is calm ubout our littlo place no quarreling, no lighting, no staggering about town, no hippimr nnd abusing wives, and no families suffering for bread, but all is peace and quietude. m. aa-Mtka A i m tt Wa .a fa4 THUM AH WftaiUfl. Passing Away. It is with mournful feelings that wo read tho following resolution, with others, going the rounds of the papers"Rfsoert, 1 hat tho next Democratic National Convention bo held at CmCincinnati, in tho State of Ohio." Mournful, becauso it reminds us, in the most forcible manner, that the proudest forces of earth, aro fading, vanishing, Heeling as the air. But three years ago that proud party met at Baltimore, nominated Franklin Pierce, and theu resolved to meet at Cincinnati, in four years moro rosolved to meet as certainly aa iho re volving year would bung them thcro in its circuit. Another Xerxea miuht have crazed upon them and wept that tho many minions ot inai uirongmg host would soon be discomtltlcd and slain. Almost like tho host of Sennacherib, on usinglo night have they been swept from tlu earth. And we a . . . rend llioai) resolution ns wo iook up on the rent flsg of some half-forgotten batth a memento of pride and valor long departed; of havoo and the wreck of human life. Where uow is that strong Democratic party? In Maine they aro gone nahinir left but the fug end of a dis cordant ft'sion. In New Hampshire, all scattered like the leaves of the for est. In Massachusetts, annihilated. Dead in Vermont, ConnetHicut and Rhode Island. Torn into a hundred fragments in New York. Conquered in Pennsylvania, In Ohio, begging the crumbs at the gate of tho National Whigs. In Indiana, licking the sores of the lean LaxArus of Whiggcry, having rejected even the name "Democratic," by a public resolve and taken the epithet, "Old Liners." In Illinois, defeated. In Michigan, Wiscopsin and Iowa, seeking a miserable fusion wiln tho miserable dregs of all tho pull-back parties of tho day. Routed in Kentucky bv a party not a vear old. Led in Georgia by Stephens and Toombs, their ld enemies. Abandoned in Texas by Houston, ono of their mightiest generals, , In Arkansas, their standard bearers. Yell and Borland fighting them. Plunged into confusion, despair and bloodshed in Missouri. knowing not whero to tleo in Lousiana. Where shall the National Democratic Convention of ICoGbo gatheted from? Will they admit Old Liners from Indiana, Tusionista from Maine, Massachusetts and Ohio, and Fag Enders from the rest of mankind? Tho motley group of 185G at Cincinnati will number few of tho men of intellect and nervo who met at Baltimore in IC52. Those mighty men are new in the ranks of a new party, which, in its feeble infancy, has demolished tho old citadels of corrupt parties, and which ia destined like a tornado, to sweep all this land a new party, with the best minds, the best hearts, and the highest enterprise of the nation; tho only true Republican party. In those men parted, never to meet again. They chose thej trysting tree. Other parties will hold the conference. Strangers to the appointment will gather there misguided, disappointed, ambitious, intriguing men, who know no good but office, and no gospel but slavery; who know no nationality but niggerism, and have no public policy but to tear down and trample under foot, whatever is of good report in our laws and our timehonored compromises. Such will be tho assemblage that will rally to that confident call. Where is the platform then 80 strongly built? All washed away by the waves of corruption, not a plank left; all gono down. Never in the history of our country was there such a wide spread desolation of high hopes, as a corrupt Executive and a corrupt Congress has brought upon that party. Two years ago defiant, lordly, supreme, they wero betrayed, sold out, by the ambitious Iscariotr wholcd them; and now the feeble remnant are cringing and crawling at the . feet of the bravest of their late despised foes. It is sad; sad to aeo so much degradation, so much shame, auch utter ruin: S id to tec the tatterdemalion gang of oflioe holders, anil J slaveholders, and bottle-holders, rallying under the soiled and befouled flag of Democracy.

Select Sitsttllanj;. ; A Romance in Heal Life. "Lilliput," the lively correspondent of the Jiiiiny Sun Wcfly Visitor, tells tho following as a true story, and

states that it happened itt tho city of Cincinuati; About twentyycars ago, as the story goes, a roan and his wifo (of prominence, by fashionable position,) who had been married long enough to be blessed (?) by a female babe, discovered that they did not love ono another as they should, and therefore separated forever. The wife took the child and sought a homo in an Eastern City, where her parents resided, resuming her maiden name and giving to the child tho same. After a divorce had been agreed upon and obtained by duo courto of law, the . lady married and the little girl was sent lo a relative in the interior of York State, where her education was attended to, and where sho remained until a few months since. . Tho man has continued to rcsido in tho West, and being young when separated from his wife, of lisle constitution, and particularly careful toiemovn fromhii countenance, as far as possible, all traces of time's footprints, . has kept up a very youthful appearance, considering his nge. Being in affluent circumstances, of good address, and decidedly agreeable iu all the little niceitics that combine to stamp the perfect gentleman of fashionable life, he was always regarded as a dcirublo prize, by designing mamas. . Nevertheless, ho had escaped all their snares, to the great annoy tnco of pretty girls and charming widows, who "really thought it was the duty of Mr. to get married." It might have been a settled aversion to tho sex, or it might have been his early lesson, yet, a fact it was, that h did not get married. Rut, not lobo too prolix, we'll cut off' some of tho littlo unimporUnt items, and proceed to tho story: Du ng last June, a Miss J arrived here from tho East, on a visit to a re I alive, who had been a resident of the Queen City but n few months. Tho seeond week of her Western sojourn throw her into tho company with the gass widow of twenty years' standing, who allowed by his allatiUon that he was irorc than usually impressed with the charms of tho fair stranger. Ev ery evening found him at her side, and bhe was thought not to be entirely in sensible to his charms of person and mind. A month glided away a month of courts-hip, which was carefully noted and meaningly winked at by her relative. At length her hand was asked in nwriage, and tho matter re fei rod to her connexion. Ho seemed to , favor the project, und appointed an interview lor the tiio, thy same eveni.ig. They met in the parlor, when a moro formal solicitation'for her hand was made, and whilo her ardent uitor was waiting with breathless anxiety for the answer that was to seal his fate, the young lady was led forward and presented to her own father I the lover. It is need less to add thut both were, astounded; however, it has resulted in good, the father has settled a liberal fortune upon the daughter, and vre this, both are in Paris, preparatory to making the tour of Europe. This ro mance of every day life, is but anoth er instanco of truth often times stranger than fiction. a being Parental Firmnes. By this is meant, that disposition, which, though at the greatest distance fxom all that is rigid, stern and cruel, can master its own feeling amid the strongest appeals to the tender emotions of the mind, can inflexibly maintain its purpose, and in the way of denying improper request, or administering correction, can intliot pin on t-he object of its affection, whenever duty requires the excercise of beneficial soverity. For want of this d ispositirm, this fino and noble quality, how many have ruined their children forever by indulgence. Those parents are most sincerely to be pitied, who havo not resolution and firmness enough to deny the requests of their children, when they know them to be improper. Nor are they less objects of pity, who from an ill-judgded tenderness, withhold correction when they know it to bo necessary. Tho consequences must be fatal to the formation of a manly, virtuos character. I have heard a parent say: "I lovo my children so well that I cannot punish them when they do wrong." Strange Jove, indeed I Had your child fiactured a limb, whatkind of affection would you express by saying that you cannot allow the surgeon to operate upon it? Hence your child must suffer the consequences of ä deformed limb the rest of his life. And yet I appeal to your reason, if this course would not be far more excusable, than to let their temper and passions become perverse, becauso you have not steadiness ai.' fuel gy enough to to exercise judicious rch'raint. or inflict salutary punuvhn.cn'..

Mrs. Snjith has lost her husband. She suspects that ho - run away with another man's wife, which of course, Smith ought not to have done without her consent. These Smiths particularly the masculine Smiths are, as is notorious, a scaly set. Several of them haro been transported to Botany Bay, and quit a number have been hung not enough; however, it would seem. How a smart, proper woman, like the lady whoso advertisement we copy, ever allowed herself tobe whee dled into marrying a : Smith is not clear. It is pleasant, however, to know that the bears up against her afflictions like a true woman. ' All she asks is to get her tonguo at the rascally abscondSmith for half an hour,' and she will bo satisfied. Perhaps, after all,' it was a considerable amount of experimental knowledge of tho power of Mrs. Smith's tonguo that caused him to decamp. If ao, it is not likely that two dollars will not tempt him to come back. ' But wo are anticipating the advertisement , which we publish r.s found in Ihe Mount Holly Mirror. Mr HtsuAKo Oo.ne!

A few months aince, a lady belonging to this city went to New York, and put up it one of the Broadway hotels. After going to her room for tho night, sho took out her pocket-book and watch, laid them on the table, and then sat down to read. While engaged in reading, she thought sho heard breathing from some one apparenrly near by, but finally concluded it must be imagination. Soon after, bhe com-mencb-d making preparations tu retire, and in adjusting her hair she dropped one of her hairpins. While stooping to pick it up, she discovered a hat under the bed, anil a closer observation revealed to her sight, the full figure of a roan. Without evincing any emotion, bhe quickly threw a shawl over her shoulders, went out of the room, locking the door after her, and stepping into the hall .he raug the bell, which summoned to her assistance the proprietors, who called in the services of a police officer, and tho intruper was arrested. There was found on the prisoner a bottle of chloroform. He was convicted on the testimony of tho lady, and sent to the Slate prison for six months. Vrt7 Haven Journal. ' Proscription. That old political sinner, Postmoster Wick, has Leen for some, time exercising the most contempiiblc proscription! Among the employees in his establishment. Some weeks ago he discharged a young man named John P. Ward, because he was a Republican and now ho has kicked up a fuss with Messers. Bain, Campbell and Tyler, three of his best clerks, for the same reason. So far as we can learn, there is no other cause under the heavens for any dissatisfaction with them. They. are industrious, reliable, capable men, and always discharged their duties faithfully; but because they don't happen to think just as this P. O. Autocrat docs, he proscribes them. A most righteous official and a most righteous party, that uphold him! . The Postmaster, we suppose will now fill their places with foreign CaLholices, in accordance with .the biding of Campbell and Hughes, whose lickspittle he is. It is a curse to any community lo have this important branch of the public service in the. hands of such a man. Thank fortune, a day of! political reckouing is coming. In J. liepul. Objecto! Salt in' the Sea. Prof. Chapman, University Colledgc, Torronto, has published an interesting paper on the object of seawater being salt, and afiei giving his objection to the usually-received opinion, he urges the theory that tho object is to regulate evajwration. If any temporary cause renders the amount of saline matter in the sea above its normal value, evaporation goes on more and more slowly. If this value be depreciated by the addition of fresh water in undue excess, the evaporating power is the more and more increased, lie gives the results of various cxpediments in reference to evaporating on weighed quantities of ordanary rain water, and water holding in solution 26 per cent of salt. The excess of toss of ram water compared with the salt solution, was for the first twentyfour hours, 0.64 per cent ; at the close of forty-tight hours, 1.04 per cent.; after screnty-two hours, 1.4G per cent.; and so on ia increasing ratio. jtiTFools and obstinate people make lawyers rich.
